Brief is an AI-powered news platform delivering fast, fact-based summaries of trending stories. Explore bite-sized news with clickable sources, contextual images, and natural voice playback. Built for those who want to stay informed without the fluff.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
We’re super excited to finally share Brief with you. We’ve been building it as two 16-year-old founders from Ontario who just wanted to make the news feel a little less overwhelming.
So much of what’s out there today is noisy, cluttered, and hard to trust. We wanted to fix that. Brief is an AI-powered news platform that gives you clean, fact-based summaries of any topic.
Each Bite gives you everything you need to know about a story in just a few seconds. You’ll get:
- Clickable source links so you can verify the info
- Images that add helpful context
- An audio version so you can listen while doing other things
- Smart categories so you can follow topics that matter to you
- A full AI-generated news article about your topic, complete with embedded images
Here’s what we’re most proud of,
You don’t need to be a journalist or an expert. Anyone can create a Bite. Just enter a topic and our AI finds the most relevant info and turns it into something quick and easy to read. Whether you’re a student, a busy professional, or just someone who wants the facts without all the extra noise, Brief has you covered.
We also added filters like Trending, For You, and By Date, plus a smooth browsing experience that makes discovering new stories simple and enjoyable.
We’d love for you to check it out. Explore some Bites. Try making one yourself. And please let us know what you think. Your feedback really means a lot as we keep building and improving.

Thanks so much for reading

I like it! Maybe to increase transparency, you could add some factors on the e.g political stance / viewpoint of the news outlets you gather info from (like Ground news)
La la la lik it Zain! Really impressed to see a 16-years-old entrepreneur doing this kind of things and, of course, wishing you all the best here!
It's always tiring to read such long news articles just to find relevant info in between. Sometimes it's so frustrating that it just better to not read at all. I am really glad that this tool came to life and I hope that it helps me with my prob.
This is exactly what the news space needs right now—a no-nonsense way to cut through the noise. The fact that you’re prioritizing unbiased, source-backed summaries (with clickable links? Yes!) feels like a breath of fresh air. So many of us just want the facts without the spin, and Brief delivers that in a way that’s actually digestible. Love the audio option too—perfect for multitaskers. Huge respect for tackling such a massive problem at 16, no less. Can’t wait to see how this grows!
